Lots of nice patina (rust) where are you mounting the engine?
I suggest you get a proper sized propellor from a hobby shop and make a backpack mounted air drive.

I will be mounting the motor above the back tire right behind the foot board where the breaks are. I also plan on making a new fiberglass foot board that is wider and will block the exhaust from burning my leg.
I could use some help with hooking up the chain. I was wondering how I would hook up a chain using the stock centrifugal clutch?

You weon't hook up the chain using that sprocket. You can find a bell (outter part) of a clutch with regular teeth for a drive chain on it, or get a whole 'nother clutch. #35 chain.
Have you thought about using a roller against the tire instead of a chain? The engine will
be mounted very close to the rear tire anyway.

should be pretty quick. see if you can find a steel rim for the front, brakes dont work to well on plastic mag wheels especially on a motor scooter. Safety first (i sound like a geek but its true)
Measure your shaft diameter. Check to see if it (the clutch) is secured by an allen screw or a key. Use those measurements to find on on ebay that matches the rear sprocket.....I don't know what size it is.
I cant seem to find a clutch for this size shaft. On this chainsaw the clutch screws on then the clutch bell is held on by a washer and c clip. The shaft is only 1/4" and when i search I can only come up with 3/4" or larger clutches. Does anyone know where to find a 1/4" centrifugal clutch or clutch bell?
that shaft doesn't look like 1/4" to me. it looks more like 3/4" are you sure its only 1/4" if so i don't think its a good idea to use that motor. shaft will likely snap pretty quickly.
